Designlab

Set up a scalable and metrics-driven system to manage the performance, growth, and life cycle of 400+ remote mentors across the world.

Established a team and processes to drive the mentorship operations and community initiatives including helping the company grow by managing the capacity growth methodically and creating a support network that empowers these mentors (professional designers and design leaders) to work better with students and develop leadership skills.

Perform market research to strategize and prioritize online creative education initiatives. Analyzed over 5 years of data to understand what are the courses and course elements that were more valuable to Designlab's students. Improved the product based on those learnings and started revising existing courses.

Mentor (UX and UI)

Helped students understand the different phases of UX as well as its different deliverables and where and why to use each one of them.

Aided students in solidifying their concepts with capstone projects in which I act as a creative director setting a briefing with them and monitoring the progress of the project as well as pushing for the highest quality possible.

Coached students through their day-to-day challenges through the program, but also regarding their career changes and career search topics.

Worked together with the Designlab internal team to improve the mentors' and students' experience.
